Youth

Youth does not require reasons for living, it only needs pretexts.
- Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
Youth Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Youth

1.
When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
Billings, Josh

2.
The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation.
Buck, Pearl S.

3.
There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age I missed it coming and going.
Priestley, J. B.

4.
I'm really glad that your young people missed the Depression I'm really glad that your young people missed the Depression and missed the big war. But I do regret that they missed the leaders that I knew, leaders who told us when things were tough and that we'd have to sacrifice, and that these difficulties might last awhile. They brought us together and they gave us a sense of national purpose.
Richards, Ann

5.
Even the youngest of us may be wrong sometimes.
Shaw, George Bernard

6.
The passions of the young are vices in the old.
Joubert, Joseph

7.
Youth troubles over eternity, age grasps at a day and is satisfied to have even the day.
Gilmore, Dame Mary

8.
Those whom the gods love grow young.
Wilde, Oscar

9.
They [Young People] have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things -- and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning -- all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything -- they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.
Aristotle

10.
Youth lives on hope, old age on memories.
Proverb, French

11.
Youth is unduly busy with pampering the outer person.
Horace

12.
You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.
Dave Barry

13.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
J. K. Rowling

14.
What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
Browning, Robert

15.
Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing: age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing.
George Bernard Shaw

16.
A youth with his first cigar makes himself sick; a youth with his first girl makes everybody sick.
Little, Mary

17.
There is a period near the beginning of every man's life when he has little to cling to except his unmanageable dream, little to support him except good health, and nowhere to go but all over the place.
White, Elwyn Brooks

18.
I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg.
James M. Barrie

19.
Lets tell young people the best books are yet to written; the best painting, the best government the best of everything is yet to be done by them.
Erskine, John

20.
The denunciation of the young is a necessary part of the hygiene of older people, and greatly assists the circulation of their blood.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

21.
On the neck of a young man sparkles no gem so gracious as enterprise.
Hafiz

22.
We have some salt of our youth in us.
William Shakespeare

23.
It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance it allotted length.
Keller, Helen

24.
Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.
Herbert Henry Asquith

25.
It is all that the young can do for the old, to shock them and keep them up to date.
Shaw, George Bernard

26.
There's something amazing about the passion of youth and its power to sustain. If there's a more powerful energy source, I don't know about it.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

27.
A sensual and intemperate youth translates into an old worn-out body.
Cicero, Marcus T.

28.
Like a kite cut from the string, lightly the soul of my youth has taken flight
Takuboku, Ishikawa

29.
A boy's story is the best that is ever told.
Dickens, Charles

30.
The young are permanently in a state resembling intoxication.
Aristotle

31.
Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.
Euripides

32.
Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.
Lindsey, Ben

33.
Youth is the time to go flashing from one end of the world to the other to try the manners of different nations; to hear the chimes at midnight; to see the sunrise in town and country; to be converted at a revival; to circumnavigate the metaphysics, write halting verses, run a mile to see a fire, and wait all day long in the theatre to applaud Hernani.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

34.
We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

35.
As youth lives in the future, so the adult lives in the past: No one rightly knows how to live in the present.
Grillparzer, Franz

36.
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
Cicero, Marcus T.

37.
Youth is that period when a young boy knows everything but how to make a living.
Williams, Carey

38.
In the first day of my youth I tried to find it in the creatures, as I saw others do: but the more I sought, the less I found it, and the nearer I went to it, the further off it was. For of every image that appeared to me, before I had fully tested it, or abandoned myself to peace in it, and inner voice said to me: 'This is not what thou seekest.'
Suso, Heinrich

39.
I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more --the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort --to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires --and expires, too soon, too soon --before life itself.
Conrad, Joseph

40.
If youth be a defect, it is one that we outgrow only too soon.
Lowell, James Russell

41.
We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.
Disraeli, Benjamin

42.
Don't laugh at youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

43.
The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgment but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.
Decter, Midge

44.
Youth is a quality, not a matter of circumstances.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

45.
If youth but knew; if age but could.
Estienne, Henri

46.
Youth enters the world with very happy prejudices in her own favor. She imagines herself not only certain of accomplishing every adventure, but of obtaining those rewards which the accomplishment may deserve. She is not easily persuaded to believe that the force of merit can be resisted by obstinacy and avarice, or its luster darkened by envy and malignity.
Johnson, Samuel

47.
To be young is all there is in the world. They talk so beautifully about work and having a family and a home (and I do, too, sometimes) --but it's all worry and head-aches and respectable poverty and forced gushing. Telling people how nice it is, when, in reality, you would give all of your last thirty years for one of your first thirty. Old people are tremendous frauds.
Stevens, Wallace

48.
So different are the colors of life, as we look forward to the future, or backward to the past; and so different the opinions and sentiments which this contrariety of appearance naturally produces, that the conversation of the old and young ends generally with contempt or pity on either side.
Johnson, Samuel

49.
It is the failing of youth not to be able to restrain its own violence.
Seneca

50.
Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.
Carlyle, Thomas
